Be careful where you put the end of the pipe. There is a fitting on the back of the head that could be damaged. Using a sawzall to cut a few slots in the firewall seam helps a quite a bit but is not required.

I think cutting the cobra head off (like I did) might be a little easier than jacking the cab up 6" but maybe not.
